About Financial Expert


I am a 30-something finance professional with a passion for investing. I am not a qualified financial adviser (see the disclaimer).

Founded in 2011, Financial Expert began as a simple investing blog, and has slowly evolved into a leading free educational resource for personal finance in the UK. 

Affiliate Disclaimer: External links on this website may include referral codes, which will generate an income for the website if you make a qualifying purchase. 

Risk Warning: eToro is a multi-asset platform which offers both investing in stocks and crypto assets, as well as trading CFD assets. Please note that CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 71% of retail investors accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

All articles: Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced and Other. Jargon explained: Definitions.
